Wasted
Redemption's Melody: Amber DeLaCruz's Journey from Wasted to Grace
Lyrics
Hey mama
Addressing the mother
I'm doin' alright
Expressing general well-being
Yeah I know
Acknowledging awareness of deception
You can tell that, that's a lie
Admitting to lying
Hey I'm sorry
Apologizing for missed calls
That I missed your call sometimes
Apologizing for occasional neglect
But there's no way the me that would answer
Reflecting on personal change
Was someone you'd recognize
Transformation making recognition difficult
But I'm callin' now to put your mind at ease
Calling to provide reassurance
You can finally get some sleep
Encouraging mother to rest
Cause all the years I've spent
Acknowledging past fast-paced lifestyle
Livin' life so fast
Living life recklessly
May not seem like a mistake to most
Defending choices as not mistakes
It ain't how I was raised
Deviation from upbringing
But thank God there's grace
Grateful for divine forgiveness
Cause he's finally given chances I ain't taken
Embracing newfound opportunities
Lord knows I've wasted more than just time
Acknowledging wasteful past
Being wasted
Being intoxicated or lost
I've been pickin' myself up
Recovering and improving
I've been makin' my wrongs right
Correcting past mistakes
It's amazing what you see
Clarity without bloodshot eyes
When you ain't got bloodshot eyes
Realization in sobriety
Cause all these years I've spent
Repeating acknowledgment of past lifestyle
Livin' life so fast
Reiterating the fast-paced life
May not seem like a mistake to most
Insisting it's not a mistake for most
It ain't how I was raised
Contrast with upbringing
But thank God there's grace
Expressing gratitude for grace
Cause he's finally given chances I ain't taken
Acknowledging missed opportunities
Lord knows I've wasted more than just time
Reaffirming wasteful past
Being wasted yeah oh
Emphasizing not wasting more time
I know it seems like prayin' is all that you do
Acknowledging mother's prayers
So I'm sorry for all the hell I put you through
Apologizing for past troubles
Cause all these years I've spent
Repeating the acknowledgment of past lifestyle
Livin' life so fast
Reiterating the fast-paced life impact
Made you miss out on your life too
Apologizing for causing mother's missed experiences
It ain't how I was raised
Reflecting on deviation from upbringing
But thank God there's grace
Expressing gratitude for grace again
Cause he's finally gave me chances I missed takin'
Recognizing missed chances
Lord knows I've wasted more than just time
Reaffirming wasteful past
I ain't wastin' no more time
Commitment to not waste more time
Being wasted
Final declaration against being wasted
